Its an horrible title, but the author works for a TV station; cut him some slack.

Hat tip to Freeper yefragetuwrabrumuy.

So much for the Article V opponents hysteria over a 'runaway' convention.

“The proposal would force the federal government to only spend the money it has.”

Great, now put something in to stop the Fed’s from hiking up the tax to cover more spending!!!

We also need to cut a lot of current spending.

We need a balanced fiscal year Constitutional amendment, with all federal constitutional officers permanently losing and being barred from government employment, service, employment/service-based benefits and payment at the start of the next Congress after any federal fiscal year that ends in the red.

I think we need to limit US federal income taxation by Constitutional amendment to no more than 10%, except for 10,000,000 taxpayers.

I think we need to limit federal income taxation by Constitutional amendment to no more than 20%, except for 1,000,000 taxpayers, with any amount above 20% collected being used to pay down the existing debt and that refinanced.

I think we need to limit state-based income taxation by Constitutional amendment to 10%.

I think we need to permanently bar federal property and wealth taxation totally.

“Thirty-four states are needed just to get Congress to call for an Article 5 Convention. However, getting states to ratify a new amendment is an even heavier lift for lawmakers.’

I thought states called for an Article 5 Convention. If left to the Senate, it probably won't be called. Senators do not owe their loyalty to their states, nor their voters. “They owe their soul to the company store” (Their campaign contributors).

It will get very interesting.
